The item is supplied in packages of 100, and delivery is required by July 17, 2026, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, under FOB Destination terms. The contract mandates strict compliance with medical packaging and marking standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E and Special Packaging Instructions MPFWN00001 Rev Dated 03/30/1988, while also requiring adherence to Medical Marking Standard No. 1, which supersedes MIL-STD-129, though compliance with MIL-STD-129 remains mandatory.

The solicitation requires submission of a Safety Data Sheet prior to award and prohibits any offerings involving additive manufacturing, with noncompliance resulting in immediate disqualification. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination under FAR 52.246-2, and payment must be processed electronically via Wide Area Workflow (WAWF). The contract includes multiple Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses covering cybersecurity safeguards, cyber incident reporting, prohibition of covered telecommunications equipment, whistleblower protections, disclosure of information, NIST SP 800-171 assessments, export control, and restrictions on mandatory arbitration agreements, alongside procurement compliance requirements including the Buy American Act and prohibitions on acquiring items from Communist Chinese military companies. The award may be made through automated means if no first article testing is required, and the HUBZone price evaluation preference applies unless waived. The primary point of contact is Chandler Alvarez of the DLA, and the contractor must fulfill all representations regarding small business status, former DOD official compensation, and cybersecurity controls as specified in FAR and DFARS clauses.
